AIRBNB / VRBO in a Condo - got Problems?

A good article (link to article) referencing some good thoughts from the excellent condo lawyer Robert Noce of Miller Thomson on VRBO and Condos / Strata and the problems they cause .  Noise, security issues, parties - all can potentially (not all VRBO / AirBNB users are bad) increase with short term rentals that leave condos more like hotels than residences.

I'll agree with the article's conclusion - effective enforcement of up to date bylaws is your solution.  To do this your bylaws will have to be constantly updated for new technologies and trends.  If your condo / strata is trundling along with some from 1967 - you will have little or not means to deal with your problem.

See our related articles on updating your bylaws (link) and what to look for in a set of bylaws when you buy a condo (here)
